USB port

The USB port is used to update the soft- and firmware of both the Base Unit and the Buttons. See also “Firmware update”.

When plugging in the Button into the Base Unit, the Button is paired to the Base Unit. The Base Unit checks whether the Button's software and firmware are up to date. If not, the Base Unit updates the software and/or firmware.

To update the Base Unit software, download the latest version of the software from the Barco website. Copy the file on a USB stick and plug it into the USB port of the Base Unit. Follow the progress and instructions on the display.
